This NSFW ‘Power Rangers’ Fan Film With Katee Sackhoff As The Pink Ranger Is Mighty Good

The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers that most children of a certain generation remember is bright and goofy, with broad villains like a dimwitted bat-monkey and the Bloom of Doom. This ain’t that Power Rangers. It’s also not a porn parody, despite that last sentence. Power/Rangers is Joseph Kahn’s fan film, “not a pilot, not a series, not for profit, strictly for exhibition,” that turns Zordon’s crew into a bunch of moody sex-starved assassins. Kahn, the director of music videos for everyone from Aaliyah to Rob Zombie and the full-length feature Torque, told HitFix:

“The irony here is that I wouldn’t even want to make Power Rangers: The Movie for real. Like if I had to make a Power Rangers movie, this is it. It’s 14 minutes long and it’s violent and this is what I have in me. If they offered me the $200 million version, the PG-13 version, I literally wouldn’t do it. It’s just not interesting to me.” (Via)

Here’s what interests him, with some help from James Van Der Beek and Katee Sackhoff.

Tommy didn’t die the Green Rangers power was taken away when Jason couldnt get the candle from Goldar. So Tommy left. Then Zordon and Alpha created the white ranger so its power could not be taken by “evil”.

It’s terrible, but it’s supposed to be. If you read the full Hitfix interview, the director makes it clear this is his satire of the current “make it dark and gritty” trend Hollywood is obsessed with. Also, it should be noted this guy directed Detention. That movie was all sorts of wild fun.

Bullshit. If this is a satire of today’s modern action movies, why are the shots longer than 2 seconds, as well as the camera steady so we can follow the action and get a sense of choreography? Not to mention the camera is too far away from the action, giving the audience the ability to actually SEE what’s going on.

If this were like a modern action movie, that camera would be pulled in, shaking all over the place, AND be zoomed in on their faces and torsos when they get hit.
